East of Eden Playlist
These tracks trace the Salinas Valley’s open farmland and the novel’s early-twentieth-century American setting, then turn toward the moral struggle between inheritance and choice at its center. The instrumentals move from spacious pastoral scenes to tension and reflection; the songs evoke hardship, family secrets, biblical echoes, and the possibility of choosing one’s own path.
